i'm a huge fan of asian cuisine, and meals that take little prep and little cleanup. here is a collection of my favorite recipes for my own reference, and for anyone trying to get into quick and delicious asian food!

vibe recipes

• fried rice, needs no explanation, a staple of chinese (and peruvian!) cuisine.
• tomato egg, make scrambled eggs (keep pieces large), fry tomatoes, combine. season and serve with rice.
• bibimbap, matchstick carrots and cucumber and slice onion, and can add any other quick veggies like spinach or lettuce, cook with a bit of salt and oil, serve with a bowl of rice, two fried eggs for protein and of course gochujang.
• japanese curry, the standard potato, carrot, onion plus golden curry cubes, cooking sped up by microwaving the root veggies before throwing it in a pan, and served over rice with any protein.
• instant ramen, pimped up with chilli oil, a soy marinated egg and a couple quick veggies.
• rice cooker meals, throw in rice, a couple lap cheong (cantonese style sausages), corn, carrots or peeled potato cubes to cook with the rice, season with a standard mix of soy sauce, sweetener and sesame oil.
• pan fried trader joes dumplings, a liberal amount of oil on a pan, crisp up the bottom of the dumplings, add water to steam until water evaporates and dumpling bottoms become crispy again, serve with soy sauce and chilli oil.
• many types of pasta dishes, huge fan of funky shaped pasta, tossed in a creamy tomato sauce and plenty of onion and pepper.
• miso egg drop soup with soft tofu, comforting and homey, a favorite of me and my roommate after a long day at work.
• garlic green beans, green beans pan fried on low heat, lots of garlic, toss with a little bit of soy sauce and salt to taste.
• baked veggies! broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, potatoes, baked and served along with rice or any leftover protein.
• corn on the cob, buttered.

y'all are afraid to be corny, but i was born on the cob

actual recipes

• shiitake mushroom garlic noodles, substitute out shiitake mushroom for any mushrooms and the baby bok choy with any choice of veggies, add in some protein and you have a balanced meal!
• egg kimbap, rolls of rice, danmuji, egg, carrots and spinach, super nutritious and surprisingly easy to make in a large batch.
• stir fried rice cakes, super versatile recipe with lots of veggie substitute possible.
• cantonese style minced beef over rice, a rare meat based dish in my recipe book, but great for meal prepping protein for the week!
• beef pepper rice, another rare meat dish, but super delicious, i love corn.
• soy eggs, protein to add to ramen or rice, delicious and jammy (boil for 7 minutes exactly, and then pop into ice bath).
